Home-Based Businesses

This Thursday, at 10 a.m. Pacific/1 p.m. Eastern, the U.S. Small Business Administration will hold a web chat on growing a home-based business.

Here's the pitch:

WASHINGTON – What do Apple Computer, Hershey's, Mary Kay Cosmetics, and the Ford Motor Company have in common? These well-known corporations all started out as home-based businesses. In fact, more than half of all U.S. businesses are based out of an owner's home. Starting a home-based business has many rewards as well as challenges. Join chat host Boyd Wright to learn what it takes to grow a successful home-based business.

Web chat participants can post questions online in advance and on July 28, join the live web chat by going online to SBA.gov, and click on the web chat event under What’s New.
